Borroughs Wellcome Headquarters

c86:

communedesign:

In 1969, the Borroughs Wellcome Company invited Paul Rudolph, dean of the Yale School of Architecture, to design their headquarters and main research facility. The original three-hundred-thousand-square-foot building, completed in 1971, was known for its extensive use of concrete and highly complex floor plans. In Rudolph described the building as a  “man-made extension of the ridge upon which it is built.”

Oh. My. God.

Tell more Hollywood stories.

Anonymous asked: Tell more Hollywood stories.

Uh, okay. You know the whole “cholos love Morrissey” thing? I was going to some hipster show at Little Temple, get there for the first band and the audience is like a solid wall of like 40 of these guys, Dickies and flannel shirts buttoned at the top, shaved heads just fat enough so they have that little roll at the bottom of their neck, all arms crossed nodding at this opening band that’s honestly nothing special, and then when the set’s done they just up and leave.

And I’m like *what* the HELL was that and apparently it was Johnny Marr’s side project

10 Crucial Decisions That Reshaped America

10 Crucial Decisions That Reshaped America

This is basically a teaser for a campaign book, where all the below-the-line guys get one last chance to spin and self-mythologize and reveal all the good ideas they didn’t get to use. But in return you get some pretty interesting stuff. Of note:

  • Trump was strategically jerkish to Jeb, incl. the “Bush has to like Mexican illegals because of his wife” tweet, because two decade-old debate footage showed he was at his weakest performing “confrontational”
  • On being hired Corey Lewandowski put Trump’s chances at 5%, Trump put them at 10%.
  • This quote on the resonance between Steve Bannon and Donald Trump: “Steve just likes to f–k with people,” a top Trump adviser told me around the time Bannon was hired. “Trump loves to do that too. … Besides, Trump only really listens to rich guys.”

Also, in the ah “editorial” judgement here seems to be a take that seems popular as a folk take but this is the first time I’ve seen credentialed media running it, that Trump won not despite but because of “being Trump”, that beefing with Khan and going on the offensive after the Access Hollywood tape and never apologizing for anything were effectively positives, credibly signaling outsider status.
